Observations
of Rene Spitz - 1940’s:
|
|
|
Young
children were raised in two different institutions,
|
|
*Prison
nursing home: with open cribs, a lively environment
|
|
|
and extensive interaction with the
mother,
|
|
|
(even though she lived in the prison next
door)
|
|
|
*Foundling
home with nurses caring for several babies:
|
|
where cribs were shielded, there was no
intimate interaction
|
|
with the mother or other caregiver,
|
|
|
and
little opportunity for other social interaction
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the first
birthday, children in the foundling home had
|
|
susceptibility to disease;
|
|
|
they were not walking or talking
properly at 2-3 years old
